It is when people use alcohol as an escape route for social, personal or career pressures that abuse or alcoholism can result. Abuse of alcohol, or consumption of more alcohol than the body can handle, can lead to liver damage and other debilitating conditions.
About the Quahog. Quahogs are hard-shelled clams found in estuaries along the Atlantic Coast, from Canada to Texas. Their name, quahog, is a variation of poquauhock, (po-qua-hock) the Native American name for this clam.
Another thing that's interesting is that Quahog is apparently located in the West Bay, yet the name is pronounced ko-hog.. West Bay Rhode Islanders generally pronounce this word kwa-hog.. If you want to hear it pronounced ko-hog you'll need to visit Rhode Island's East Bay or southeastern Massachusetts.8E1, Road to the Multiverse, begins at the Quahog Clam Day festival, where you can play Shoot the Clam, chow down on some stuffed clams, and view the Half Man Half Clam in the sideshow. The closest real-life analog is probably Warren's annual Quahog Festival, which takes place in July.
